The model is only meaningful once roughly ten participants — a full first page of results — are in the pool. Below that threshold rotation simply hands share to whoever is left, which is not equilibrium. Above it, the vertical behaves like a coordinated service division with a shared floor and a shared ceiling.
Every participant receives identical organic and paid impression volume. Conversion data reveals the mean diversion delta — the specific technical, speed and interface friction points separating the strongest pages from the weakest.
Each business receives a private diagnostic report and fixes its landing page bottlenecks. The floor of the entire pool rises, which is the part search engines benefit from most.
Anonymised accounting histories and workforce shift patterns are ingested to set normative standard deviations for stress, target velocity and consumer experience. Seasonal businesses calibrate across a longer window.
The engine goes live. Exposure begins following serviceability, and participants can withdraw at any time — with all baselines decaying and deleting after ninety days of inactivity.
Every one of these is inherited directly from the Respectful Synchronised Protocol rather than invented for the auction layer.
Employers cannot view individual traces, device habits or leave reasons. Competitors in the pool receive no visibility whatsoever into each other's financial or operational metrics.
Workforce and consumer signals are only generated where the group meets a minimum size, so no individual worker or customer can be isolated from an aggregate.
All raw telemetry is processed at the edge, reduced to a low-resolution state label, and burned on write. Nothing raw is warehoused.
In line with the RSP signal decay rules, a business that pauses participation has its historical operational and financial baselines decay and delete automatically.
Ethical framing alone does not move an ad platform. The argument has to be commercial as well, and it is.
The Ethical Auction is the plain-language branch. The formal macro-economic specification, telemetry schema and governance document live alongside it.
